Arogenate dehydratase (ADT) (EC 4.2.1.91) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

Contents

L-arogenate → L phenylalanine + H2O + CO2

Certain forms of the protein have the potential to catalyze a second reaction, [1]

L-prephenate → L-phenylpyruvate + H2O + CO2

This enzyme participates in phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan biosynthesis (an example structure is shown to the right. [2]

Nomenclature

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the hydro-lyases, which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-arogenate hydro-lyase (decarboxylating; L-phenylalanine-forming). Other names in common use include:

Reaction

The carboxyl and hydroxide groups (shown in red) attached to the 2,5-cyclohexene ring are eliminated from L-arogenate, leaving as carbon dioxide and water. The 2,5-cyclohexene ring becomes a phenyl ring, and L-phenylalanine is formed.

Certain forms of ADT have been shown to exhibit some prephenate dehydratase (PDT) activity in addition to the standard ADT activity described above. [1] Known as cyclohexadienyl dehydratases or carbocyclohexadienyl dehydratases (listed above), [1] these forms of the enzyme catalyze the same type of reaction (a decarboxylation and a dehydration) on prephenate. The carboxyl and hydroxide groups (in red) attached to the 2,5-cyclohexene ring are removed, leaving phenylpyruvate.

Function

ADT catalyzes a reaction categorized by two major changes in the structure of the substrate, these being a decarboxylation and a dehydration; the enzyme removes a carboxyl group and a water molecule (respectively). [1] Both potential products of this reaction (L-arogenate and phenylpyruvate) occur at or near the end of the biosynthetic pathway. Total synthesis of L-arogenate has been reported. [3] [4]

Structure

The structure of arogenate dehydratases are described as having, for the most part, three major sections. ADTs contain an N-terminal transit peptide, a PDT-like domain, and an ACT (Aspartokinase, chorismate mutase, TyrA) domain. [5]

Homologues

Homologues for ADT have been isolated in Arabidopsis thaliana (rabbit-ear cress), [5] Nicotiana sylvestris (tobacco), [6] Spinacia oleracea (spinach), [6] Petunia hybrida, [7] Sorghum bicolor , [8] Oryza sativa , [9] and Pinus pinaster [10] which are all considered higher-order plants. Erwinia herbicola [11] and Pseudomonas aeruginosa [12] are known to have homologues for cyclohexadienyl dehydratase. Of the plants with ADT homologues, both Arabidopsis thaliana, Petunia hybrida, and Pinus pinaster are known to have paralogues for the gene (six, three, and nine, respectively). [5] [7] [10]

Dehydratases are a group of lyase enzymes that form double and triple bonds in a substrate through the removal of water. They can be found in many places including the mitochondria, peroxisome and cytosol. There are more than 150 different dehydratase enzymes that are classified into four groups. Dehydratases can act on hydroxyacyl-CoA with or without cofactors, and some have a metal and non-metal cluster act as their active site.

Shikimic acid, more commonly known as its anionic form shikimate, is a cyclohexene, a cyclitol and a cyclohexanecarboxylic acid. It is an important biochemical metabolite in plants and microorganisms. Its name comes from the Japanese flower shikimi, from which it was first isolated in 1885 by Johan Fredrik Eykman. The elucidation of its structure was made nearly 50 years later.

Amino acid synthesis is the set of biochemical processes by which the amino acids are produced. The substrates for these processes are various compounds in the organism's diet or growth media. Not all organisms are able to synthesize all amino acids. For example, humans can synthesize 11 of the 20 standard amino acids. These 11 are called the non-essential amino acids).
